The first consists of the analysis of the documentation submitted during registration.
The goal is to verify whether the candidate meets the academic requirements established in the notice.

Before that, the schedule indicates the publication of the preliminary list of validated registrations on January 19.

The reserved vacancies are aimed at self-declared black, brown, or indigenous candidates and people with disabilities.
The option is registered at the time of registration.
The notice also establishes that candidates competing for reserved vacancies initially participate in the general competition.
